Scheel Seats

[iconoclast6]

Hi Folks,

Have decided that I really like the look of Scheel seats, and am now considering
swapping them into my coupe. I'll have to re-cover them to match my existing interior.

Does anyone know how/where I can begin sourcing them? What model, type of donor car hey come from? What are some of the issues I need to consider for fitment?

Any and all info will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck

My pleasure...and you may find that the look is not the only thing nice about 'em. Driving in them (the feel) is why these are so popular...

Good luck!

A pair just sold on ebay.

There are some good threads on the early 911s registry with old catalog photos and such.

Good luck...they show up from time to time mostly on BMW boards. I have one I turned into an office chair(!) but I really need to get it in my coupe someday.

Chuck,

You can get a new pair at:

I sourced a set from an early 911. As suggested, you may find one on a porsche board or another marque, BMW folk seem to covet them more.

I've teased you before, get another coupe to play with. Lol.
